Do you have oily skin, geebs? Does it feel like it gets rid of all the oil?

There is a formula for oily skin as well. I have combination skin and my nose and forehead usually feel clean. If they don't, I just repeat and that takes care of it.

Pbi- Jess, if a cleanser gets rid of all your oil, it means it strips your skin of it- which can (and usually does) lead to more oil production. Your skin should not feel "squeaky clean".

The cleanser should take off your m/u and sunscreen, or the oil that you use to loosen it, and wash that off.

Is this similar to Cetaphil?

No, Spectrojel is more gentle (Cetaphil has SLES).

I just read reviews and most say it doesn't leave a filmy feeling on your skin like Cetaphil did for me. I might try this

LOL You also fail to mention you bought this when you thought you were buying something else.

I think I need to investigate. My cleansers all feel too harsh in the winter.
